Mobile App Makes It Really Easy For Creatives to Obsess Over Festival Art

Background
Stockholm Art Week is an annual event showcasing Stockholm as a city for art.

Challenge
How do we democratize the art scene and get rid of the mindset that art is just for a few
selected ones? The goal for the week is more art to the people.

Idea
The initiative Stockholm Is Your Canvas lets anyone submit their art and have it displayed
with augmented reality. It could be on a wall at the exclusive The Thiel Gallery side by side
to Edward Munch, Carl Larsson and Prince Eugene or somewhere around Stockholm city,
in collaboration with Stockholm Stad.

How it works
Whenever you find a Stockholm Art Week symbol just open the app on your smartphone,
point your phone’s camera at the symbol and voilà – an artwork will appear on your display!
Also, don’t forget to explore the calendar covering Art Week.

Results
People from around the world uploaded a huge variety of artworks including famous eBoy
and Alvaro Sotomayor to local talentEijer from Karlshamn. The initiative was also picked up
by a large number of blogs, news and most important; Visitors to Stockholm Art Week.

Interactive Billboard Takes Norwegians on a Live Taxi Ride Through NYC.

Background
Norwegian Airlines is the third largest low-cost carrier in Europe. They have been named Europe’s
Best Low Cost Airline two years in a row. The company has 417 routes to 126 destinations.
All at low, low prices.

Brief
But most people, even in Norway, are unaware that Norwegian Airlines have a number of new
direct long-haul flights to places like New York.

How can we increase awareness about flying long haul among the target audience? Especially in
Norway? And make them engage with a destination like New York?

Idea
To promote its direct long-haul service to New York, Norwegian Airlines invited shoppers in
an Oslo mall to take a virtual taxi ride around Manhattan.

An interactive digital screen was connected live with a custom-designed taxi. People who took
part could choose where to go, and control the 360 degree live stream camera on the roof of
the car while the driver gave them stories, about the city.

Results
The event was a huge success with lots of different and fun real-time data interactions. Most
participants have never been to the city and this opportunity certainly generated a very specialmoment of inspiration.

The initiative was also documented and the film top-trended/shared in Norway the first days and
generated over +500.000 views the first month on Youtube and facebook. (10% of the population in
Norway)

+820 articles generated on both in Norway and on a global level (including Tripadvisor, Aftenposten,
Travel Magaizne and Visit Norway) and +44.600.000 impressions in social media.

January 2015 had a considerable growth in long-haul operation, read more here.

The endangered koala probably gets more likes in social media than dollars in donations. But that’s all about to change.

The Australian Koala Foundation’s new social media initiative, Like for Lives, urges people to post a picture of a koala on Instagram or Facebook together with the promise: For every like this picture gets, I will donate 50 cent to savethekoala.com

BackgroundThe battery life of the LG G3 smartphone was at the release superior to all other smartphones
on the market including iPhone, Samsung Galaxy and HTC One.

LG Nordics therefor wanted to target people with an extra need of a good battery life. We found
them up in the air, as there are no battery chargers onboard: Passengers using smartphones on Norwegian Air’s wi-fi system.

Idea
We invented a new media placement.
When you log on the wifi, the ads recognized your hardware and compared it to the G3 and
delivered a message: “Low on Battery?” followed by “Level up with LG G3 and surf until touch-down“.

ResultsReach:
An estimated number of 1.2 million passengers flying to/from the Nordics, using wifi
during the flight were exposed to see the exclusive ads during the campaign.

Sales:
During the campaign, LG G3 has topped the charts as “the most sought after phone”
and “best selling” in all the Nordic countries. (especially at airport stores).

Background
The Formula 1 season has just started on Viasat Motor and it has never been more exciting for the Swedish F1 fans. For the first time in 23 years, a Swedish driver is challenging the elite in the highest league.

Idea
In homage to the Swedish driver, Marcus Ericsson, Viasat launched the world’s first Reinsta-ad based on a slightly unfortunate series of pictures.
The user “27Shine” wanted to immortalize Marcus debut at the Jerez Circuit on Instagram. But to capture the rapid F1 car on picture turned out to be easier said than done: in 7 out of 9 pictures, the car was missing.

Results
The Reinsta-ad (ten images in total) was published on a number of F1 related Instagram accounts, see example below:

BACKGROUND
LG is one of the leading providers of consumer electronics but had not been able to establish a strong position in the Nordic TV market. But in 2014, LG launched their new OLED-TV, the world’s largest and slimmest (only 4 mm) OLED TV.

CHALLENGE
How could we get the target audience to experience how slim a LG OLED-TV really is? And spread the word?

EXECUTION
We realized that leading Nordic hifi magazine, “Sound & Vision” also happened to be exactly 4 mm thin. A coincidence leading to a unique product demonstration on the spine.

RESULTS
The unique product demonstration quickly attracted attention of over 700 technology sites and blogs around the world, including Gizmodo, Mashable, The Verge, Feber.se, Itavisen.no and computerworld.dk (some of the most prominent media to create awareness among the target group), which in turn generated a large spread in social media and truly emphasizing the LG Electronics tagline: It’s All Possible.

CHALLENGE
How do you get lots of people talking about retirement savings? On Saturday nights?

BACKGROUND
“So Much Better” on Channel 4 is the most popular Saturday TV-show during fall in Sweden.
The hashtag #somuchbetter is always #1 on Twitter trending topics during Saturday nights.
Retirement savings, on the other hand, is something almost never talked about on Twitter.

SOLUTION
SPP, a pension company, is a sponsor of this year’s “So Much Better” and to become a topic
of conversation we decided to kidnap the hashtag #somuchbetter with a new promoted hashtag
called #somuchbetterspp

RESULT
It quickly became the “official” So Much Better tag during the evening and after a few hours
there were thousands of tweets made together with​​ SPP who also tweeted about pension using
the same hashtag.

Challenge
To raise awareness of the new range of door-in-door refrigerators from LG, we needed to get the buzz going online. The Internet is full of lively conversations, but when was the last time someone had one about a fridge?

Solution
We created the world’s first tweeting refrigerator. The fridge was set up at the production company “Baluba” run by Swedish comedian Peter Settman and his friends. Every time someone opened the doors, the fridge sent out a tweet with an attached live video stream. People got an “inside” view into the daily work and a chance to see visiting celebrities.

Results
We didn’t have to start the conversation. The fridge did it for us: several international news sites picked up the story about the worlds first tweeting refrigerator.
But not only that: the search word “LG” rose by 32% in Sweden during the campaign. The campaign message spread globally to over +1.200 influential blogs and newspapers which gave LG some well earned PR. Estimated PR value = 1.7 million Euro. Earned media with a reach of 76 millions.

Our objective was to raise awareness of the oppression of the Russian LGBTQ community: a subject completely ignored by domestic and international press.

In 2012, Russia passed an anti-gay propaganda law banning Pride parades for 100 years. Subsequently, Russia saw a surge of hate crimes motivated by homophobia.

No one acknowledged this, offered support or reported the story either in or outside of Russia. With media under strict control new ways of reaching out and raising awareness were needed.

What was the strategy behind the creative work?
We got GOWEST, an initiative supporting the Russian LGBTQ community, trending on Twitter within Russia. And, in doing so, forced Russian and international press to pay attention.

What was the creative work?
The campaign began with a single tweet. It urged people to visit gowest2013.com and compose their own tweets inviting Russians westward to Stockholm Pride. Importantly, the tweets were automatically translated into Russian. The geotag was changed to Russian cities which enabled the topic to start trending on Twitter within Russia.

What effect did it have in the market?
From a single tweet on 14th May 2013 all this happened:

Reach
In just three days, GOWEST was trending on Twitter in Russia. An incredible wave of tweet-invitations were sent from gowest2013.com, reaching over 3.7 million Russian Twitter accounts. *source: tweetreach.com

PR
The cause was picked up and retweeted by influential celebrities. This not only helped GOWEST trend in Russia, but these endorsements sparked the attention of the international press, helping GOWEST explode with worldwide coverage. Even Russian mainstream media featured the initiative. Stockholm Pride estimates the PR coverage generated was 10x higher than previous years.

Social response
GOWEST started with a single tweet and resulted in direct response of 110,000 interactions (likes and follows) in the first week alone. Earned media for the campaign period is estimated at 680,000,000 (impressions) worldwide. *source: tweetreach.com

Sales
The secondary objective of GOWEST was to raise attendance at Stockholm Pride by 8%. The activity drove a 33% rise, smashing the objective by 300% and a year-on-year increase of 800%.

Other
GOWEST was the first and only campaign to focus on the oppression of Russian LGBTQ community, precisely when the cause was being ignored by domestic and international media. It has since inspired other local and global initiatives in support of the same cause.

Our brief was to put Stockholm Art Week on the map and create buzz. We took it literally and created an app that captures your movements on a map of Stockholm using GPS, and transfers this to an artist who paints the movements on a real canvas. Your ‘art walk’ became a brush stroke on the co-created art piece. People could visit www.stockholmisyourcanvas.com and see how their brush strokes – and the whole canvas – came to life through a live streamed link to the artist’s studio.

The campaign generated PR for Stockholm Art Week in local and national TV, radio and newspapers as well as international buzz online. The finished canvas was displayed at the closing party and then sold. The were used to support young artists in Stockholm.

Providing people in the developing world with simple means of transportation can make a huge difference in their life.
